Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Historically used in domestic settings and ancestral halls for ritual offerings, these tables feature extended overhanging tops, recessed legs, and often carved spandrels or integrated drawers for utilitarian storage.

They are typically crafted from northern elm wood (Yumu) or dense hardwoods, utilising complex mortise and tenon joinery that allows the timber to expand and contract without nails or glue.

Key indicators include hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, natural surface wear around hand-forged brass hardware, undisturbed wood ageing on the underside, and carved decorative spandrels.

Serving as a hall console, sideboard, or entryway statement piece, the linear silhouette pairs effectively with contemporary artwork, ceramic lighting, and architectural features.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax periodically to maintain wood hydration, and keep the item away from direct heating elements or harsh sunlight.
